DON’T LET HOLIDAY
FEVER GET YOU DOWN
.. . is the most sincere expression we know
of to convey our appreciation for the friend-
ship, cooperation and excellent business
relationship which were so important to our
mutual benefit during the past year.
May we extend to you and yours a mes-
sage of good cheer and much happiness at
Christmas time.

AUSTIN, Dec. 20—Most Texans
are susceptible to holiday fever,
declares Dr. Henry A. Holle, com-
missioner of health. Each year
they are caught in a last minute
rush of buying gifts, wrapping
packages and sending cards; in
short they have caught the annual
fever. This “fever,” just as any

Lets Have an Old
Fashioned Christmas . . .
As years go by and each of us
reviews the memories that linger
longest in our minds, we will re-
call Christmas with our families,
observing the time worn tradi-
tions. There is Dad erecting the
tree—Mom and the many hours
she spends in the kitchen making
holiday candies and cookies. There
are the children whispering se-
crets about gifts and so on. To
each of us Christmas speaks of
something different, but to all it
is a season of laughter, song and
happiness.
Christmas is a special time of
year filled with gaiety, warmth
and loving kindness. While time
can never be turned back to the
candle-lit Christmases, some of
the friendly, homey spirit can still
be recaptured.
In every home, the holidays are
a combination of legend and cus-
tom, depending on the old world
origin of the family. Some form of
sweetened yeast bread for holiday
eating is a custom in most house-
holds. This apricot coffee twist is
an adaptation of flaky Danish |
pastry.
To break bread with friends
over a cheery cup of coffee is now
almost a universal Christmas cus-
tom.
In order for the fever not to get
you down you had better incorpor-
ate a few sane ideas into what
might become the mad rush of
these days.
Organize as well as you can so
as to save steps. Always stop be-
fore reaching the point where
sheer fatigue affects your judge-
ment, tempers and bodily control.
When .fatigue gets the better of
one, he is much more vulnerable
to accidents—both at home and on
the road.
Duties should be scheduled to
allow some time for relaxation. It
is surprising how much more
enjoyment one gets when he is
well rested. Some time should be
devoted to sitting and thinking—
thinking of what Christmas really
means.
If there are children you will
want them to have a part in the
family preparation for Christmas
and a share of the fun. Parents

Apricot Coffee Twist
For the dough: Make your fav-
orite basic sweet yeast dough.
For the filling: Combine one
half pound apricots with enough
water to cover. Cook until tender.
Add one third cup sugar and con-
tinue cooking until very thick—
stirring often.
Cool; roll the dough to form a
rectangle 24 by 9 inches. Cut the
dough in three strips 24 by three
inches. Spread half of apricot fill-
ing over one strip. Top with sec-
ond strip of dough. Spread the re-
maining apricots over the second
strip and top with the third strip.
Place one end in center of cooky
sheet. Twist the dough while
winding strip around and around
to make a large round coffee cake.
Brush with melted shortening and
let rise until double in bulk. Bake
in moderate oven about 45 min-
utes. Frost with confectioner’s
sugar icing.

N
er children’s routines should be up-
set as little as possible. To deprive
a child of his nap, to drag him
through crowded stores, to expose
him to confusion and to offer him
too many sweets is not the right
kind of sharing.
The child under five can be
easily over stimulated about the
holidays. Too much advance ex-
citement may make the day it-
self a let down. Setting limits for
older children is also wise, so that
Christmas won’t be spoiled be-
cause they are half dead with fa-
tigue or are battling against a
cold. The older folks would also
be wise to get plenty of rest,
watch their diet and do everything
possible to avoid accidents in the
home and on the highways.
